After a fun filled week with the 45 students and staff at Terence bay elementary school, we finished building this 12x3ft big fish covered in individually painted scales. This sculpture is a new school mascot and protects as it reflects the surrounding areas history and abundance of great artists.

This is after day two of a week long big fish project. Tommorow we are visited by 50 students from a neighboring school and will try to finish 420 shingles, while we finish building the frame while we attempt to create something never been done before in the history of civilization, build a big fat wooden fish.

This is creative engineering at it's best. With the generous support of Arts Smarts, myself and the students at Terence bay school will be building a 12 ft x 3ft wooden fish that will celebrate the colorful community and history of this small hamlet by the sea..
